Another Reason For Rear Fill...

I was driving home from work yesterday and was listening to fm radio, when Pink Floyd's Money was played. The seperation in that song is quite amazing. I have nice rear fill and believe you me, that song made it all worth it. The way the intro went from front to rear and side to side was awesome. Of course i had to crank it up a tad or two. For front stage only fans, you would be missing alot here. I realize that alot of music isn't like this, but when rear fill is in play, it makes songs like this a beautful thing. Just my 2 cents worth. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Whats cool is seeing live concerts with the surround sound going on. Like Pink Floyd, Rush, Triumph and Deep Purple. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yourock.gif.93d527d504392657a77fa577298070a1.gif Plus, amazing light shows. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/bowdown.gif.b85b23b82970bd22fb6b549c3392f016.gif

 
Hate to break it to you man . But the entire Brothers In Arms Album is a two channel recording done in 1985 . Not four channel . If your able to pick out your rear fill , then it's doing more than just rear fill . A well set up front stage only , can accomplish reverberation and echo //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

yup so his rear is probably just playing louder than his fronts.

Brothers In Arms album 1985? Pink Floyds "Money" is from the Dark Side Of the Moon released in 1973. If thats what you were talking about. If not my bad.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Derr , guess it would help if I read the pink floyd part //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif I was thinking dire straits for some reason when he started talking about seperation //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif Darkside of the moon or as it was going to be called "Eclipse, A Piece for Assorted Lunatics" was recorded in the same downmixed fashion though . multi channel recordings from the studio down mixed to stereo for playback on the new fangled hi fi stereo systems of the day . No surround at all //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
If your fronts blow I somehow don't think that the rear fill will make up for it. Besides if you don't abuse everything should be ok. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
I run 5 channels and prefer to be immersed in the performance rather than having it all blasting from the front. With sensitivity and gain matching they can blend seamlessly. Those of you that run front stage only probably don't even compete in SQ competitions since there aren't really anymore so you are only fooling yourself. That said to each his own. YMMV.

I ran rear fill in my '94 Camaro competition vehicle with a Vifa center channel and I have the trophies to prove that it was more helpful than hinderence. (IASCA competitor from '95 - '97 in the Novice/Amateur 1-150 watt class). They were controllable and adjustable via L-Pads custom mounted in the center console.
